Hi all, Doing some spring cleaning and realized I have a ton of RC390 parts as a result of having 2 race prepped 390s. Let me know what you need, I likely have it. 90% chance I have anything someone might need from the stock motorcycle, nothing aftermarket, rims or fairings for sale. I...

Hi guys, Just quick note here for help from those who might have some insight. I have 2 fairly built out 2015 rc390 race bikes and am always on the hunt for spares. Anyway, stumbled across a wrecked (front end damage, frame totalled but engine back clean) 2018 with 1500kms on it that will hit...

Thanks for the response. Thats reassuring. Any numbers on the engine that would be an indicator? Its not always in my possession, but I took a few stamped number photos from the cylinder. - A

I landed an opportunity to pick up a 2017 390 engine as a spare to my 2015 race bike. Was just curious if I should be picking up the harness/ecu as well or not? Meaning, are there any differences/challenges that I'll face jumping between the 2017 and the 2015 when the time comes? Thanks in...

Yeah I guess I should have clarified, I'm only waiting on Motul for $$. As for the engine itself, you're right. All of it is concerning. For what its worth, I've had the cams out since and both engine case covers off. No shiny aluminum anywhere visible by the eye with a mirror. Hell, I even...

Update: So I spoke with Motul's Lead Lube Tech in San Jose, sent him pictures and his mind was blown. In 14 years on the job and an amateur motorcycle racer he was shocked that the 300V had done that. I got a sample in the mail to him that is now destined for France at Motul's headquarters for...

Hi guys, So, background: 2015 rc390, new to me at 12k kms (Canadian) last winter. Then proceeded to build it into a race/track bike with the following: - PCV (chad map) - akra flash - shift kit - custom exhaust - all the other usual stuff not relevant for this discussion (see pic) Last...

What components would wear first if this was the case? Obviously it makes most sense to replace all, but I already have the Gray retainers (uninstalled) and wondering if its plausible to expect to only replace the keepers or if the valve stems would become marked up and need replacing? Doubt...

Hi all, I'm working through my first valve adjustment with the RC. Second owner and the original didn't have anything for records so I'm going to assume never had valves checked (12,000km). After pulling everything apart I was tight on all 4 valves by either .01 or .02mm, not a big deal. So I...
